    @Phil_aka_Pip .. I have a couple of Pete Bardens solo albums which he released before he died. They were pretty good .. piano and syns with bass, drums and the odd guitar.

    And never released on CD .. Thijs van Leer from 1975 ....

    @Fretwired now you come to mention it I think I possess 3 Pete Bardens albums, Levitation, Heart to heart, and one that seems to be a recording of a huge smoking session/jam session called Vintage 69.

    You don't mean this (repackaged I think). Peter Green's on guitar.

    That chap who did Queen of Denmark? Keys-wise not the most exciting but he has a good voice and interesting songs.

    Just listened to that song on spotify, I like it. Don't like the singing or the lyrics particularly but the instrumentation and arrangement is spot on, a good song! Thanks

    None of the following suggestions are remotely what you seem to be looking for. However I offer up the following list of my favourite keyboard music anyway:

    Bach's Goldberg Variations played by Glenn Gould. Andras Schiff is good too.

    Bill Evans Lovely non flashy jazz. Everybody Digs Bill Evans and Sunday at the Village Vanguard are my faves

    Ravel complete solo piano works. Concerto for the left hand is brilliant too.

    Erik Satie. Everyone should listen to Gymnopedies and Gnossiennes at least once. Landmarks of European culture.

    Chopin. So much beautiful stuff he was responsible for. Begin with the Preludes perhaps.

    Debussy. An orchestrator of genius but I love his solo piano works too.

    Beethoven's piano conertos. Absolutely killer.

    And another interesting jazz album is Miles Davis's In a Silent Way which is largely keyboard driven (Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea I think).

    Cool. Actually we saw Sinead O'Connor doing it at Camp Bestival, it was an amazing performance. Found out what it was after they'd finished the set. I filmed the beginning of it here - I love the way Sinead stamps her foot :)

    Can't argue with any of those. I've performed (and still have large parts of it committed to memory) the Goldberg Variations and it is just one of those pieces that sits on a whole higher level to other music

    Debussy or Ravel I cab take or leave, more of a Liszt man for that style of music as i like the arrogance and power of it

    Nice list Skarloey, though the grunts and speed of the Gould Goldbergs are a bit off-putting don't you think? Yeah to Liszt! though I love the French composers too.
